Description
Update History Panel keeps an audit-friendly log of updates performed via the WordPress admin update workflows:
- WordPress Core
- Themes
- Plugins
The log is shown as a panel on the Dashboard Updates screen and can also be retrieved via the REST API:
GET /wp-json/update-history-panel/v1/logs
For security reasons, the endpoint requires an authenticated user with the update_core capability by default.
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen. - Activate the plugin.
- Go to Dashboard Updates to view the log panel.
